with semi-professional club Paris at the age of 17.

Prior to signing with the club,

Lala had trials with professional clubs Lille, Caen, and Valenciennes.[1] After two
seasons playing on Paris' reserve team, he was promoted to the club's senior team
for the 2010–11 season.[1] A successful campaign, in which Lala made 33 league
appearances, resulted in the player being linked to several Ligue 1 clubs, most
notably Valenciennes who offered Paris €100,000 for his services.[2]

Despite declining the initial offer,[2] on 15 June 2011, Paris reached an agreement
with Valenciennes on a transfer for Lala. He signed a four-year contract with the
Northern outfit.[3] Lala was assigned the number 18 shirt by manager Daniel Sanchez
and was placed onto the club's first team, though he has played on the club's
reserve team in the Championnat de France amateur. Lala made his professional debut
on 6 November 2011 in a 1–1 draw with Rennes appearing as a substitute.[4]

In June 2017, Lala joined Strasbourg on a two-year contract.[5]
